Old Dalby, otherwise known as Dalby-on-the-Wolds, has long lost its earliest Registers, those remaining being as follows
Volume I. contains Marriages, Baptisms and Burials from 1725 to 1813. Three blank paper fly-leaves at beginning; 24 parchment leaves 14 5/8 by nearly 7½ in., bound in parchment boards; condition excellent, but back almost broken. The heading is: “Old Dalby Register.” Many entire pages are blank. The consecutive years for Burials are entered and spaces left, but in many years there are no entries, and often only one ; a healthy spot.
The first entry is : “Mary, daughter of Roger Johnson and Ann, his wife, Baptis’d March 28th, 1725.”
On p. 2, under heading “ Progenies Roberti Harrisoni, Cler et Barbaroe Uxoris ejus,” are registered, on a page to themselves, the births and baptisms of the (then) vicar’s 12 children; 7 daughters and 5 sons. Barbara, the wife and a daughters, all died in June and July, 1730, and were buried in the South Aisle of the Church.
Under 1795, Sept. 11, is, “Buried Stephen Greenaway, A M., Clerk Minister of this Parish, Rector of Nether Broughton, and Vicar of Cropwell Bp., Notts. He was Domestic Chaplain to the late Right Honble. Lord Feversham. And afterwards Chaplain to the Right Honble. Robert Earl of Harborough. John Morres, Clerk Minister.”
On the last leaf, p. 1, are 12 entries of baptisms, “omitted to be regist’d in their proper place” for 1755-72.
No Marriages arc registered for 1739-53.
Writing is clear and legible all through; no badly faded entries.
Vol. II. Marriages 1754 to 1782. Ruled parchment leaves in stiff paper covers. Three Marriages, as noted in loco., are registered on pieces of paper pinned into the register. Half the leaves are unused. Condition is good.
Vol. III. Marriages 1783-1812. Parchment leaves bound in tooled calf. Printed forms.
Vol. IV. Marriages 1813-37. Printed forms.
The Bishop’s Transcripts extant prior to the year 1700 are only four in number, for the years 1633, 1634, 1637 to 1639.
These abstracts have been made by Mr. E. K. Elliott, of Leicester, and are printed by consent of the Vicar, the Rev. F. Murray Symonds.
